A little something from New Yoak City

Lately, that little voice that whispers, "You need this." whenever I do some 'harmless' online window shopping has been reduced to next to nothing. However, when I first saw this Oak coat back in September, that voice was loud and clear. Drapey, asymmetric goodness with extra long sleeves AND pockets? What more can a girl ask for? After cursing myself for missing out on getting one for myself then in September, the lovely Miss Laia helped me get my hands of one when Oak restocked them earlier this month.

Here's a subpar full body shot. I need a new place to take photos...




oak collection coat, complexgeometries top, bdg jeans, vintage riding boots

Pennerad said...

dustydress said...

that is an amazing jacket, I love how the back is subtly shorter then the front, creating an amazing silhouette from the side. I actually love your photos even though your beautiful face is missing from most of them, I love the crispness of the white surroundings. I'm always on the hunt for better places to take photos in but my tiny flat is very limiting.

ohmygoshh- gorgeous drapery. the shape is absolutely genius. and i love the scarf below
